"Ripening States and Projects
Monthly Updates:
In June, CSG Justice Center staff remained focused on general ripening activities related to planning for follow-up engagements that will build on connections made at the National Summit to Advance States' Criminal Justice Priorities in December 2023. In June, CSG Justice Center staff conducted follow-up outreach to the 670 recipients of the mailed hard copies of data snapshots that were originally created and distributed at the National Summit to a comprehensive contact list of legislative and gubernatorial leaders in all 50 states. To date, we have held conversations with 110 recipients.
In June, the CSG Justice Center team continued providing information to state leaders and stakeholders in West Virginia. The state secured all signatures for a Letter of Interest (LOI) that was submitted along with West Virginia's assessment memo to funders requesting support for launching a JRI project in 2024.
CSG Justice Center staff met with representatives of the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, courts, and other key public safety and behavioral health officials to continue assessing a commitment to engage in the JRI process and engaged with stakeholders to identify members to be a part of the working group, spearheading the continued engagement to result in legislative and or administrative recommendations to West Virginia's Justice system.
The team will continue to call and email legislators and stakeholders to drive conversations around JRI, including discussing the development of data snapshots and how they can be used as a tool when discussing criminal justice reform.
